The Lev! Barkley House is a two-story brick house, with a two-story ell attached to the rear, which faces west from the rear of a large shaded front yard. It is located in the rolling upland between Hannibal and Palmyra an

important southern settlement region in northeast Missouri. The house

originally had a two story front portico and rear gallery but in recent years both appendages were reduced to one story. The house is otherwise in nearly

pristine condition.

The house ia a double-pile, central hall, Georgian derived type. It rests on a full basement and has a stone foundation. Fronting the house is a one bay wide portico which was once two stories but has since been reduced to one story. The vernacular Greek Revival impression was fortunately not lost in this alteration as one story vernacular grecian-style porches were quite conmon in Missouri. The paired square brick columns are original as are the balustraded

railings on both stories. Cut stone limestone steps of impressive size and a

well executed cut stone stoop are intact. The porch shelters the entrance door which is surrounded by sidelights and a transom set within a grecian-style

shouldered architrave. Windows on the front are paired M/4 sash with stone lintels. All other windows are 6/6 except for the small eyebrow attic windows. At the eave line of the main block a course of ornate brackets encircles the house. The bracket course of the ell is plainer. An interesting

and unique feature of this house are the two paired round chimneys rising from the main block. The two story gallery on the south wall of the rear ell has

been reduced to one, but retains the first story plain square posts and railings. Cut stone steps of impressive size are still present. A lean-to

porch on the opposite (north) side of the ell has been enclosed.

On the interior, the house features a full basement partitioned by brick

bearing walls still retaining a coat of whitewash.

The first floor consists of a central hall with two rooms on either side in the

main block and an ell containing a small secondary hall with a rear stairway, a pantry and a large kitchen. A small work room is located on the east end of

the south rear gallery and the north rear porch has been enclosed for

additional interior space.

The central hall is dominated by a straight-run stair with 19 risers. A circular medallion graces the hall ceiling. All door and window surrounds on

the first floor consist of molded shouldered architraves with pedimented

peaks. Doors have four panels. All mantels are of the Greek Revival pilaster type. Woodwork in the hall and south half of the main block is painted white. That of the north half is grained and the mantels retain their marbeling. This is true of the upstairs mantels as well. A boxed-in stair is found in the

northeast room of the main block.

Door and window surrounds on the second floor are plainer than those of the principal floor. Random width oak floors occur throughout the house.

Statement of Significance (in one paragraph)The Lev! Barkley House is significant under criteria B and C to wit: That it

is associated with Levi Barkley a prominent farmer of the Hannibal area whose career is an important case study of the successful southerner in northeast Missouri; and that his house, built on the eve of the Civil War embodies the distinctive characteristics of the late Georgian type central passage double- pile house with fine quality interior Greek Revival woodwork and indications on

the exterior of Italianate decoration all embodied in a regionally imposing and well built house. The areas of significance are as follows:

Agriculture: The career of Levi Barkley is an interesting profile of a

successful southern farmer in Northeast Missouri. Although apparently lacking the advantages of formal education, he possessed farming skills which he combined with a fortuitous choice of farm location to accumulate a modest

fortune and build a handsome residence.

He had been born in 1807 in Jessamine County, Kentucky and came to Missouri

twenty-two years later, settling in Marion County. He apparently did not receive the advantages of education. He engaged in farming and stock raising for twelve years near the extinct community of Philadelphia before locating on

the property where he was to erect his fine mansion fourteen years later. He-

was married twice to women of Kentucky extraction and produced by his first

marriage, eleven children. Hiring the Civil War, he was a Confederate syirphathizer and a member of a Palmyra company called the "Silver Greys", a unit of men over age 15 which did not see action. Except for a brief stint as election judge in 1817 he held no office but appeared to devote himself exclusively to farming. That he possessed some skill at this endeavor in

suggested by an award he received at Marion County's first fair, held in 1853, under the sponsorship of the Agricultural and Mechanical Society where he

achieved the distinction of having the best one acre of corn with a yield of 111 bushels.

As is true of many southerners who did not operate at a grand scale or play a

large role in public affairs, but rather followed less dramatic agricultural pursuits, Levi Barkley ? s story is not to be read in written Histories or

biographies, but rather in the census records. In this, he is typical of the "plain folk" the vast majority of Southerners who are the subject of the work

of that title by Frank Lawrence Cwsley. Because of that fact, the nature of his agricultural pursuits does not corns into focus until 1850, the year of the first agricultural census. By then, he had been relocated on his new farm for four years and by all indications was doing quite well. He farmed 300 acres of a 500 acre farm that was valued at $7,500. The acreage of his farm was over twice the norm for farm sizes of his day in Missouri. He owned fifteen slaves:

7 males and 8 females. His holdings in horses (11), mules (15), milkcows (15),

cattle (100), sheep (50) and swine (100) was worth $2,785. In addition to

stock, he raised a variety of crops, producing 400 bushels of wheat, 2500 bushels of corn, 30 tons of hay, as well as wool, irish potatoes, orchard products, garden produce, butter, cheese, and beeswax. It is interesting to note that in this year he also raised a cash crop: hemp. His 6 1/2 ton pruduction was a respectable figure, although not equal to the output of the hemp plantations of the Missouri River valley.

All of these figures point to a man operating at a level well above the norm. The next years were ones of increasing prosperity for him. The 1360 census figures point out some dramatic improvements in several areas. And, of course, there is the large and pretentous house he erected around that time to stand as visible evidence of his rise. He was then fifty-three and had been married for 3 years to his second wife. His two grown sons were helping him farm and two older daughters (18 and 16) were still in the household along with three younger children. His farm was forty acres shy of being a full section of which 400 acres were improved. Its value had increased nearly $9,000. His personal estate had increased dramatically from $1800 to $18,500, and his slave holdings while only increasing by one had changed greatly in character. In 1850 he had 7 males, four older than 13, and 8 females. By 1860 his female holdings shrunk to three while his male chattel grew to 13, 10 being 13 or older. He now had a much greater labor force available to work his fields or rent to neighbors. The value of his stock grew by $1115 to $3900 with the doubling of his holdings of horses to 28 being most notable. In his crop production, three increases are notable. Irish potatoe's increased from 40 to 700 bushels, butter from 400 to 1000 pounds and market garden produce increased in value from $40 to $1000. In addition the value of animals slaughtered increased from $150 to $500.

Some of this increase if not all it may be attributed to one fortuitous by product of the relocation of his farming operation. Along the western border of his new farm lay the route of Missouri's first railroad: the Hannibal-St. Joseph line. This was the first trans-Missouri route to be completed prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. Furthermore, a depot named Barkley Station was placed on the line directly in front of his residence. A 1875 lithograph depicts this station with passengers waiting on the platform for an arriving steam engine pulling a box car and three passenger cars. The unusual produce production figures would strongly suggest that Rarkley was likely supplying the needs of the railroad, and reaping from it a handsome profit that helped erect the fine residence that figures so prominently in the lithograph. Perhaps, passengers were also boarded in'this home.

By 1870, Barkley's fortunes had somewhat eelisped. His farm had been trimmed to 200 acres (150 improved), and its value reduced to $15,000. His personal wealth had'decreased to what it had been 20 years earlier. The value of his stock was less than half what it had been in 1860.

In 1876, Barkley's farm passed to his son-in-law Willis M. Baxter, a Kentucky native who came to Missouri while still in his teens, arriving first in Shannon

County. He achieved success by buying and shipping stock. During his trips, he often stayed over at the farm of his future father-in-law.

In 1888, John Landis, of Pennsylvania Mennonite extraction, became the new owner of the farm. It has since remained in the Landis family and has been the property of the present owner, Jason R. Landis, Jr., since 1939.

Architecture: The Levi Barkley home is an important one for several reasons. It is one of the finest country homes of the Salt River region, embracing Marion, Rails, and Monroe Counties; is one of the best surviving northeast Missouri examples of the double-pile Georgian houses that appeared in the most prosperous southern settlement regions along the Mississippi and Missouri River valleys during the 1850's adorned in the trappings of the Greek Revival or Italianate style or often a combination of the two; and is a finely built house resting on a full basement with a stone and brick foundation that has fine quality vernacular Greek Revival interior woodwork retaining its grained and marbleized trim and mantels.

During the antebellum period in the townships lying between the town of Hannibal and Palmyra, southern homes of solid quality appeared, built by a properous if not wealthy gentry transplanted from Kentucky, Virginia or other states of the Upper South. A number of these homes are extant, ranging from the unusual and early (ca. 1820's) stone Georgian Cottage that Robert Masterson built, to fine early I houses of the 184(Vs such as the Franklin Whaley House, Webb House, and Ephriam Wilson house (National Register). By 1850, large central passage brick I houses with galleried rear wings and vernacular Greek Revival trim, had become the preferred type for the prosperous slave owning farmers or country gentlemen of the region. Two very fine surviving examples are the Herndon-Dr. Baskett House and the Ritchie House.. By the late 1850's through the 1870's, Italianate style houses were being built in the affluent river town of Hannibal and also in Palmyra, the county seat. Appearing as square shaped central-passage houses with fine Italianate exterior trim, and often with belvederes, many of these residences can be found today in both towns. The Levi Barkley House is indicative of the more conservative bent of rural building. This house was built for a man of perhaps little formal education who had accumulated a modest wealth by means of his farming skill, fortiuous location and ambition. Well past the mid point of his life, Barkley used this wealth to erect a dwelling which would proclaim his achievements. Its construction on the very eve of the Civil War was during the twilight time for pretentious southern architecture in Missouri. Like its counterparts elsewhere in Missouri's affluent regions, it completed a cycle in the story of southern architecture in the trans-Mississippi west. Its double-pile central hall form is an echo of the great Georgian houses of the tidewater south that flourished a century earlier. Such houses were the model for a simplified vernacular Georgian house type adopted by an affluent middle class gentry and carried by them as they joined southerners of all classes in the westward trek. From 1730 through the 1870's such houses reappeared throughout the transmontane south in the various stylistic vogues—Georgian, Federal or Greek Revival—which prevailed at the time of their building. Always in the countryside builders were conservative in adopting new modes resulting in a

process of gradual accomodation rather than abrupt tranformation. The Barkley

house is a good example of one phase of this gradual transformation expressed a southern country house of the Civil War era in Missouri. It has been mentioned

that this period saw the introduction of the Italianate style into the urban centers. But the Barkley house is Italianate only in its ornate brackets. It's form remains squat and georgian. There is none of the attenuation of the Tuscan cube, nor are there deep eaves or quoins at the corners. The portico was an unusual two story (now reduced to one) Greek Revival expression with clustered slender brick piers resting on a fine cutstone stoop, possessing turned balusters and the frosting of brackets applied to the upper frieze. The

rear two story gallery with its bricked-in rear section (now reduced to one story) was typical of such galleries built on rear ells of two story vernacular southern houses in the 1850's. It had square wood piers, simple railings and a upper course of consoles of much plainer design than the brackets of the main block. The front door has a Greek Revival /dog-eared" surround. On the

house's inside, a vernacular Greek Revival/style is employed generously. A fine straight-run stair of 19 risers with a nicely turned tapered octagonal

newel and turned balusters, all of walnut, dominates the wide hall.' A simple circular medallion graces the hall ceiling. All first floor doorways feature battered grecian surrounds with shouldered architraves and pedimented peaks (upstairs the surrounds are plainer). In the dining room a bank of three such doors occurs on one wall. Original graining is retained on the woodwork of

several rooms. Several mantels retain their marbeling feathered effect in

white and black color schemes—a rare and inportant survival. As in many large Missouri southern houses there is a secondary boxed-in stair in a room of the mainblock (dining room) and a rear interior stair located in the ell--the "servants stair". The boxed-in stair is a interesting hold-over with roots in tudor England and was a common feature of single- and double-pen southern

houses of the Frontier period in Missouri. A fine feature of this house is its full basement. In sum, this house is an interesting mixture of vernacular tradition at several levels and of styles and for this reason is a good case study of transformation in traditional southern Architecture in Missouri.

A useful comparison that can help place the Barkley House in its Missouri

context is with Greenwood (National Register) near New Franklin in Howard

County. This house was built around 1864, and was a large Georgian home with a two story rear wing like its Marion County counterpart. But its builder, Robert Estill, came to one of Missouri's prime agricultural regions with very good connections and accumulated a fortune that was far larger than Barkley's. His house clearly represents a higher level of refinement and informed elegance. The Barkley house is more provincial by comparison. This is

reflective of the fact that Marion County was not in the first rank of agricultural counties in antebellum Missouri. The county's domestic rural architecture, likewise, could not match in elegance the finer country estates of the Boonslick Region, in central Missouri, or of the hemp lands of Saline and Lafayette Counties that adjoined the Boonslick to the west and like the Boonslick, bordered the Missouri River. But if the Barkley House is not in the first order of pretentious Missouri houses, it is nonetheless one of the finest country houses of its region—the Salt River Country of northeast Missouri—and is a significant expression of the level of culture and wealth achieved during the antebellum period by the southern settlers of Marion County.
